Potential amazon layoff has me looking externally, but not sure if skills are really transferrable
just to make a list, my skills are in SQL, python, R, pandas, redshift, quicksight, tableau, ETL etc. I want to pivot over to business analytics, but I don't have SAP experience - what could I say is most similar? it seems hard to look externally when I've mostly used Amazon specific software. I'm looking externally just in case of the layoff tomorrow.
What’s your current role? TPM or SDE or data Scientist. I am growing observability team at OCI and have a data scientist/SDE position. If the role aligns you can DM me.
Sounds like a skillset for product analytics data scientist
What? Who gives a shit about SAP. The only ones that need to be worried are the people developing shitty Lambas in Java day in and day out. Holy shit they are in for a surprise when they come out.
Look for Data Engineering or Software Engineering, Data if you want to stay on the more technical side. Data Scientists or Analytics Engineering may also work if you want to stay away from programming. Most big companies have their own tooling (happened to me at Meta), just try to find the analogues (e.g. ETL -> Airflow). Check in LinkedIn the roles you may like, check the skills and probably you have done something similar at Amazon that you can jump to some open source version.
For ETL, learn/put on your resume Airflow. Redshift is good for managed data warehouse, maybe also look for snowflake. Also try to get some knowledge on Spark and the Hadoop ecosystem
What.... SAP literally doesn't matter. Probably like at least 95% of data roles have nothing to do with it. You're good to apply to mostly anything with your skill set.
look for data engineering roles
